I agree that Gun Runner is much better looking (and a prettier runner) and even seeing them on TV compared to each other at BC Runner was a better-looking horse. Which is why I'm surprised he looked so ordinary in that picture and made my comment.

Just curious - did you ever see Gun Runner in person - up close and personal? If so, and you can still agree with what you wrote, well..... oh, never mind. There was nothing ordinary about his conformation photo.

I haven't seen him in person, but I've been impressed with photos and video of Gun Runner. I'd also pick him over Arrogate - who I think is very typical of an Unbridled's Song... and for me, that's not a good thing.

Double ^. And why would that "official" photo have him standing on such an upward incline? I know it's an illusion, but that makes his hindquarters seem smaller than they really are.
He looks really good in the photo with the background. Not so much in the outlined one.
Photoshop should ban horse farms from using its product.
